It's all about Bobby Petrino. He'll attempt to take WKU to the next level as he did with University of Louisville and Arkansas. Petrino will try to implement his high-scoring offense but does he have enough weapons? The Hilltoppers will have a new quarterback, most likely Brandon Doughty who has made only one start in his career - and that lasted three plays before a season-ending knee injury in 2011.

The MVP

Antonio Andrews will again be the engine that drives the offense. His 3,161 all-purpose yards were the second most in FBS history. Andrews and former Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders are the only players in major college football history to eclipse 3,000 yards.

Shoes to fill

WKU will need to fill the void left by defensive end Quanterus Smith (12.5) who was a fifth-round pick by the Denver Broncos. The prime candidate is redshirt sophomore Gavin Rocker (three sacks). He started the final two games of last season in place of Smith.\
